According to the jail authorities, Dutt had requested them to assign him some hard physical works inside the prison in order to ensure sound sleep. The jail officials said the decision to reject the request of the 53-year-old actor was taken considering his safety and security in the jail.

Currently, Dutt has been assigned to make paper files and do paper binding inside his high security cell of Barack No 3. He was shifted to Yerawada jail from Arthur Road jail on May 22.

It is worth mentioning that the jail authorities have also opposed home-cooked food permitted to the actor and filed a petition in TADA Court seeking to discontinue it.
